No longer is there such a thing as a Christian Democrat.

If not a thug, the average Democrat is a delusional jackass.

Every American should be treated with dignity and respect,

What about murderers and rapists?

I like it when the world hates Christians. It just takes me to God’s Word where He said that is exactly what will happen.

The fact that the 19th Amendment (19A) effectively gives women the right to vote means that they already have as much equality as ordinary citizens can have imo.

19th Amendment:

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

But just as misguided Speaker Pelosi led the House to pass Obamacare with no express constitutional authority to do so, Pelosi has likewise unthinkingly introduced the so-called Equality Act with no express constitutional authority to do so.

More specifically, since 19A is the only constitutionally enumerated right that protects on the basis of sex, Congress is limited to making laws that protect sex on issues reasonably related to voting rights imo.

In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court Justices had put it this way about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

All that confused imo career lawmaker Pelosi is seemingly trying to do by introducing Equality Act is to exploit low-information women by winning their votes so that she can stay in power, such women probably never taught about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA!

As a side note to this post, consider the following video of Pelosi.

Christians Will Be 'Forced to Violate Their Beliefs' if Equality Act Passes

Wrong. Christians will be forced to obey God, even if it means being persecuted for it.

The world is evil. Why is anyone surprised by such legislation?

I thought the Constitution says Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion,OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXCERCISE THEREOF.

"We cannot allow claims of religious freedom to be used to discriminate against an LGBT individual," said Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

Sure you can. It's freedom of choice.

“Every American should be treated with dignity and respect, but our laws need to protect the Constitutionally guaranteed rights that we have,” says Greg Baylor from Alliance Defending Freedom...”

I get so angry when these opening qualifiers are added. No, some activities deserve ZERO respect and dignity, least of all homosexuality.

We are admitting to taking a defensive stance when we do this.
